APPLICATIONSThis Specification is intended to facilitate the accelerated aging of assembly components by means of different storage parameters. It specifically applies to the assessment of surface materials of trim and molded padding used in vehicle interiors incl. the luggage compartment. Non-laminated plastic compo-nents shall be aged in accordance with DBL 5471 and assessed visually. In addition, DBL 5404 shall be observed for these components. Painted plastic parts shall be assessed according to DBL 7384.2. MATERIALSThe technical values of all starting materials shall correspond to the individual material DBLs, require-ments specifications and drawings.3. PROPERTIES3.1General requirements- - In line with the specifications of the Quality Management unit of the receiving plant, the components shall be free of manufacturing defects of any kind which would impair the processing and utilization properties or the appearance (e.g. free from release agents). Cleaning agents used during the manufac-turing process shall not cause any material/surface damage.Trim:The bond between the surface material and the substrate shall extend across the whole surface and shall be uniform, sufficiently strong and resistant to aging. The surface material shall be turned over and glued at the outside edges with sufficient strength and without disturbing overlaps. The pull-off force of any glued-on, riveted or integrated attachment or assembly parts (holders, clips or similar) shall corre-spond to the values indicated on the drawing, and the values shall be indicated in the ISIR.- Moldedpaddedparts:These shall be molded with correct dimensions in accordance with the drawing or the functional specifi-cations and demonstrate the specified hardness (indentation depth). The foam expansion shall be even and without noticeable pockets. The foam shall have completed all reactions after a storage time of the molded padded part of 24 hours at room temperature, i.e. it shall not be tacky nor brittle. The bond be-tween cover material and foam as well as between foam and substrates shall be firm enough to ensure that no separation can occur during assembly or use (e.g. as a result of release agent residues). This requires appropriate conditioning of the surface of the materials. The surfaces of the molded padded parts shall correspond to the specified design pattern.- The availability of a certificate of testing in accordance with the following method is specified as an over-riding requirement for adherence to the emission values for interior trim materials: VDA 278; threshold values DBL 8585.The user is responsible for checking whether the version in his possession is the latest version. Forinquires on threshold values, please apply to VDA278.DC-Info@.In particular in the case of substances listed in DBL 8585 Section 2.3, the supplier is required to con-tinuously minimize the concentration and emission at least in accordance with the state of the art, even when values have fallen below the required DBL threshold values.-In installed condition, the materials used shall comply with the following requirements when tested in accordance with the test instruction: "Formteile für den Fahrzeuginnenraum - Bestimmung der Abgabe von Formaldehyd, Ammoniak und Phenolen - Messverfahren in der 1 m³- Kammer“ (draft October 1994, issued by Arbeitskreis "Kfz.-Formteile - einfache Prüfmethoden“ under the leadership of FhG-WKI, Bien-roder Weg 54 E, D-38108 Braunschweig):- Formaldehyde emission: initial value max. 0,2 ppm, in equilibrium max. 0,05 ppm- Phenol emission: max. 0,04 ppm- Ammonia emission: minimalPage 3DBL 5471 : May 2007 Measurements shall be carried out on finished parts under the following testing conditions:- Temperature 65 °C- Relative humidity 11 %- Cabinet load 2 m² per m3- Change of air 0,5 h-1The consistency of production with regard to formaldehyde release shall be tested by means of a simple method and documented, e.g. bottle method (determination of formaldehyde release of molded parts by the bottle method, VDA recommendation 275- DKF, Ulrichstr. 14, D-74321 Bietigheim) or gas analysis method DIN-EN 717-2 (was: DIN 52 368 - Beuth Verlag GmbH, D-10772 Berlin). It is a condition, how-ever, that this value is determined already for the initial sample. For this reason, it shall also be indi-cated on the acceptance test certificate.3.2 Shape, dimensions, cut-outs and markingsIn accordance with drawing and/or template.3.3 ColorIn accordance with order, approval, reference sample and other specifications (DE/QM).3.4 GrainIn accordance with order MBN 31 0304.TECHNICAL DATARefer to Table 2, pages 6 to 9.METHODS5. TESTDIN/EN/ISO (refer to Table 2) or DBL 5306, Part II and DBL 5307.5.1 Separating force for laminated parts (cover material/substrate)The test shall be carried out in analogy with the separation test in accordance with DIN 53 357 immedi-ately after the specified storage periods. Test specimens shall be taken in longitudinal, transverse and diagonal directions and shall provide a representative cross-section of the complete part and shall bedocumented in the ISIR.The test specimens shall be prepared by sawing out pieces approx. 70 mm wide and approx. 200 mm long. For testing the separating force, cut the surface material through to the substrate 50 ± 1 mm wide with a knife in the longer direction of the test specimen.5.2 Foam adhesion for molded paddings (excerpt from DBL 5306.16)Strips 50 mm wide shall be cut into the narrow side of the molded padding, and the surface material(e.g. deep drawn films, molded skins) shall be pulled off at an angle of approx. 120° and at a rate ofapprox. 100 mm/5 s constantly and without sudden movements. The area-based foam adhesion on the reverse of the pulled-off materials and the surface of the substrate shall be assessed. As a representa-tive average, at least 75 % of the total surface of the molded padding shall be pulled off from variouslocations and assessed. Adhesion values are specified in the specific material DBL. Each individualstrip shall be assessed; the result shall be calculated by averaging. No individual strip shall lie morethan 50% below the foam adhesion. Where the visual foam adhesion between the molded skin and the foam yields a result lower than 75%, compliance can be proven by indicating the separating force value in N. Attach a spring balance (compression-tension measuring unit 0 to 50 N) to the test strip and de-termine the separating force under the test conditions indicated above. The test result shall not fall be-low the lower threshold value required in the specific material DBL (10 N/5 cm strip width). The test shall be performed on components which have been stored at 23 ± 5 °C for at least 48 h after foaming orwhich have been subjected to heat storage.Page 4DBL 5471 : May 20075.3 Climatic resistance testsAssessmentcriteria: The parts shall not demonstrate any changes interfering with the application in comparison with the as-supplied state (e.g.warping, flattening, deflection, shrinkage or extension of thefinished parts, detachment of the surface material and of thefastening and making-up parts, glue embrittlement, blistering,impressions and piercing, waviness, brittleness and cracking ordiscoloration (assessment in accordance with ISO 105-A02),tackiness, marked glossiness and grain flattening of thesurface material, marked swelling, spalling, layer and fiberseparation of the substrate or similar). Weld joints shall notseparate.S = Focus point test (see DBL 5306.104) shall always be performed.Temperature requirements deviating from the functional specification:There is a temperature differential between the surface and substrate in the vehicle. For climatic cham-ber storage, the requirements profile for the surface is higher.The components are stored unassembled and shall therefore not be used for the assessment of dimen-sional requirements.Test sequence:1.2. 3. 4.

In addition, the relevant requirements of Daimler AG apply.All materials, procedures, processes, components and systems shall conform to current statutory (gov-ernmental) requirements regarding constituents and recyclability.The parts shall be free of production defects of any type which would impair the processing and utilization properties or the appearance.In particular, surfaces and cut edges shall not release any substances (e.g. auxiliary production materials, release agents, contamination) which could lead to an impairment of the surface quality.Visible decorative plastic parts shall comply with the requirements of our styling unit with regard to surface gloss.With regard to constituents, the materials shall comply with current statutory regulations. For the relevant information regarding banned substances and declaration requirements, refer to DBL 8585.Emission testing of organic materials in interiors according to VDA 278:For individual substances, the limit values are listed in DBL 8585. The total emissions are determined by means of the VOC and Fog values. The material DBL for interior parts/materials contains pertinent mate-rial-related and product-version-related limit values.If no specification is given, the general requirements specified in DBL 8585 shall apply. The user is re-sponsible for checking whether the DBL version in his or her possession is the latest version.In particular in the case of substances listed in DBL 8585, the supplier is required to continuously monitor and adjust the concentrations and emissions in accordance with the state of the art.When submitting samples, the results of the emission analysis generated by the laboratory shall always be enclosed on a CD-ROM together with the related sample data sheet using the template* filed in the standards information system. The VDA 278 analysis shall correspond to the latest status of the compo-nent/material. It shall not be older than one year.For sampling in the Wörth plant, the CD-ROM shall be submitted by the testing institute on request.______________*Template in NormMaster: "MB-DATENBLATT_EMISSIONSANALYSE_VDA_278_2008-01“4.1 Product versions .00 to .89The component tests shall be performed by the supplier within the context of initial sampling. While the article is active, the supplier shall take appropriate measures such as process monitoring/documentation and periodic validation of the DBL tests to ensure the supplied parts conform to the approved samples.The supplier is responsible for selecting the appropriate raw material type and plastic supplier. In the case of any changes to the plastic type, renewed sampling shall be carried out.4.2 Product versions .90 to .99Procedure: refer to Section 175 Abbreviated material designation for documentation5.1 Product versions .00 to .89Abbreviated designations for drawings in the block for material: e.g. Thermoplastic PP-HI-T20 DBL 5404.005.2 Product versions .90 to .99Abbreviated designation for drawings in the block for material, e.g.: Thermoplastic with material approval PP-HI-T20 DBL 5404.906 Use of recycled materials in vehicle interiorsThe use of recycled materials is desired in principle.Evidence shall be provided to prove that recycled materials in vehicle interiors conform to the same re-quirements as new products on the finished part. In particular, compliance with the requirements regarding odor, fogging and emissions in accordance with VDA 278 / DBL 8585 shall be ensured.When recycled materials are used, there is an increased risk of possible fluctuations between the individ-ual delivered batches. Compliance with these DBL requirements shall therefore be ensured by appropriate quality measures across the complete delivery period, and documented.Reprocessable materials from the molder's process start-ups, tool changes and production faults (e.g. sprue cake) shall not enter the production process. Exceptions are, for blow molding processes, small quantities of reprocessable material from molded part trimmings, provided that the added quantity is clear-ly limited and that the requirements with regard to fogging, odor and emissions as specified in VDA 278 / DBL 8585 can be proven to be maintained on the finished part, at maximum permissible content.7 Test methodsTests Testspecification Remarks Density DIN EN ISO 1183Parts 1-3Section 7.1Residue on ignition DIN EN ISO 3451-1 Section 7.2Bending test DIN 53 435DIN EN ISO 178Section 7.3Impact test DIN 53 435 Section 7.4Water content DBL 5555 Section 7.5Tensile test DIN EN ISO 527 Section 7.6Hot storage temperature DBL 5555 Section 7.7Vicat softening temperature DIN EN ISO 306 Section 7.81,3-butadiene content DIN EN 13130-4 Section 7.9Fogging DBL 5306, method B Section 7.10Emission analysis VDA278DBL 8585Section 7.11Odor VDA 270-B3 Section 7.12Resistance to environmental stresscrackingSection 7.13Resistance to cosmetics Section 7.14Resistance to care products Section 7.15Hot light aging VDA 75202-3 A4DIN EN ISO 105-B06Section 7.16Burning test DBL 5307.10 Section 7.17Conditioning of materials containing polyamide Section7.187.1 DensityStandard: DIN EN ISO 1183 Parts 1-3Test conditions: Method A - buoyancy method7.2 Residue on ignitionStandard: DIN EN ISO 3451-1Testconditions:MethodA7.3 Bending testConditioning: For materials containing polyamide, refer to Section 7.187.3.1 Testing on componentsStandard: DIN53435(Dynstat)Dynstat-test pieces: 10 mm x 15 mm x d7.3.2 Tests for basic investigationsStandard: DIN EN ISO 178Test specimens: 80 mm x 10 mm x d7.4 Impact testStandard: DIN 53435 (Dynstat) Conditioning: For materials containing polyamide, refer to Section 7.18Test temperatures: 23°C / 50%RH -25°C7.4.1 Notched impact strength Dynstat test pieces: 10 x 15 mm x d, with notch (K)7.4.2 Impact strength Dynstat test pieces: 10 x 15 mm x d, without notch (G)7.5 Water contentStandard: DBL 5555 Test condition: Method AApplication: Only for materials containing PA (as-supplied condition)7.6 Tensile testStandard: DIN EN ISO 527 Conditioning: For materials containing polyamide, refer to Section 7.18Test specimens: 5A Test speeds: 50 mm/min for unfilled materials 10 mm/min for PP - T10 5 mm/min for filled materials 7.6.1 Modulus of elasticity Test specimens: 1B Test speed: 1 mm/min for testing of modulus of elasticity (only to be used for basic examinations)7.7 Hot storage temperatureStandard: DBL 5555 Test equipment: Warming cabinet DIN 50011-1 : 1978-01 Indications in test report: Test report in °C / Molded part change in % Limit value: max. 1,5% molded part change7.8 Vicat softening temperatureStandard: DIN EN ISO 306 Test conditions: VST B507.9 1,3-butadiene contentStandard: DIN EN 13130-4Application:Only for materials containing ABSConditioning:Following manufacture, the specimens shall be conditioned as soon as possible.
